When people look at a map of Northern Virginia they assume that Prince William County is too far away from the National Capital Area for ease of commuting.  In fact, Prince William County and Lake Ridge, in particular, have one of the best commuting sytems in Northern Virginia.

• Express bus service to the Pentagon and Washington, DC is available within Lake Ridge and at the entrance to Lake Ridge in the VDOT Commuter Lot
• Carpools usually meet at the VDOT Commuter Lot at the entrance to Lake Ridge – see Omnimatch for more specific details
• Slugging (some erroneously call it hitching a ride which it is) is a result of the need to use HOV lanes on the I-95 as much as possible. Commuters form a line at a designated Slug Line Stop in Lake Ridge – the VDOT Commuter at the Lake Ridge entrance. For example, a driver will pull up headed for the Pentagon, but needs one more passenger to qualify for HOV-3. The first person in line going to the Pentagon will join the others in the car and away they go. It’s free commuting for the slugger and gives the driver availability to HOV lanes on I-95 – win win!!
• Train The Virginia Railway Express Woodbridge Station with rail service to Springfield, Crystal City and Union Station in Washington, DC is approximately a 20 minute drive from Lake Ridge in the morning rush hour. At Springfield you can switch to Metrorail that gives you access to the entire National Capital Area subway system.
• Local buses run regulary throughout the Greater Woodbridge area as well as other areas of Prince William County. Lake Ridge is one of the communities served by Omnilink
• MCB Quantico is less than 30 minutes by car
• Fort Belvoir is approximately 30 minutes by car

It always surprises people to learn that Lake Ridge, Woodbridge VA is one of the 10 largest subdivisions in the United States with 38,000 people living in more than 7,000 residences that are situated on 4,400 acres of land (1,200 0f which are wooded common ground).  Additionally, Lake Ridge Park and Marina adjoins the huge Occoquan Reservoir providing Lake Ridge residents with a broad range of golf, recreation, boating and fishing opportunities
